Field Code Description
TPIor Lead B Threads per inch (TPI) or lead of thread in
MM. (Required)
NOTE: The minimum number of threads
per inch is "1".
XCenter X Absolute X coordinate of the center of the
thread. If no coordinate is entered, the CNC
puts the center of thread at the current tool
position.
YCenter Y Absolute Y coordinate of the center of the
thread. If no coordinate is entered, the CNC
puts the center of thread at the current tool
position.
ArcInRad R Size of radius arcing into start of thread.
NOTE: If R is a positive value or not set and
the thread is "inside", the cycle always
returns to the center between passes.
If R is a negative value, the cutter moves to
the start or end point that is closest to the
center if inside thread, and farthest away
from center if outside thread.
If R is not specified at all and the thread is
outside, the cutter backs away from the
largest diameter by an amount equal to the
thread depth.
StockAmt S Amount to leave for a finish pass after the
roughing passes.
Rough
Feed
J Feedrate for roughing. If not set (blank), the
cycle uses the current active feedrate.
FinFeed K Feedrate for the finish pass. If not set
(blank), the cycle uses the current active
feedrate.
Passes E Number of roughing cuts to be taken.
NOTE: If Stock is not set or set to zero and
E is 1 or 0, the cycle makes just one pass at
the full depth.
If Stock is set to greater than zero and E is
1 or 0, the cycle makes one pass at the
stock depth and one pass at full thread
depth.
NOTE: If you would like all non-cutting
positioning moves to be rapid, set E to a
negative number.
